Whats up and welcome to the 10-year anniversary of the Wellness Mama podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com and it has been such an honor to get to have these conversations and to share this area with you for the final 10 years. I can’t imagine that is the 10-year birthday of this podcast and I’m so grateful for the entire unbelievable individuals I’ve gotten to have conversations with because of this podcast and for the entire superb suggestions I’ve gotten from you guys. It has been such a wild journey these final 10 years, and I needed to do only a very temporary brief recap episode with some highlights, slightly little bit of then versus now, what’s modified during the last 10 years, each personally, professionally, within the well being world, the place I feel we is perhaps going within the subsequent 10 years within the well being and wellness world and a lot extra.
One query I’ve for you earlier than I soar in could be, do you want this new shorter format with extra episodes per week? Does that make it simpler on your schedule so that you can pay attention, or would you favor to return to fewer longer type episodes? I’d love your suggestions. Be happy to depart a touch upon the weblog put up for this podcast or attain out to me on Instagram and DM me, or I all the time love and so honored by your scores and critiques. I do learn each single a kind of. So if you wish to share suggestions there, I’d like to learn it.
So slightly little bit of temporary recap. Then versus now. So on a private degree, 10 years in the past, I had one much less little one than I’ve now. I used to be wanting via my photograph recollections and realized that 10 years in the past, I bought my nostril pierced for the primary time and bought my first tattoo after serious about it for a decade. And I now definitely have a couple of tattoo. Ten years in the past, my oldest little one was seven. I can’t imagine he turns 18 this yr. And my youngest little one is now eight years previous, which is difficult to fathom. And 10 years in the past, my life was t-ball and martial arts with the youngsters. And now it’s monitor and lifeguarding and tennis and gymnastics with the youngsters.
One factor that has been a continuing is, in fact, motherhood. However I really feel like how I’ve, how I take into consideration motherhood, how I act as a mom has shifted a lot and that my children are my best academics on this lifetime by far. And I’ll converse extra about this sooner or later, however, and the way in which I take into consideration motherhood is shifting rather a lot. And whereas it’s all the time been my precedence, I’m feeling the necessity to actually have that mirror in how a lot time, I spend quite a lot of time with my children, however I a lot take pleasure in their ages proper now and notice how little time I’ve left with a few of them. And so they’re turning into my absolute time precedence in some ways, which can shift some issues in Wellness Mama an honest quantity. And I’ll maintain you guys posted on that, however particularly now being a single mother and being kind of the one mum or dad with them more often than not. I actually need to prioritize them and actually save for these moments earlier than they’re grown. That statistic that we spend over 90% of the time we are going to ever spend with them earlier than they flip 18 is de facto sobering. And I simply need to make it possible for I prioritize that whereas they’re nonetheless at dwelling with me.
Additionally for me, 10 years in the past, I used to be nonetheless attempting to get an accurate analysis for what I’d later be informed I had Hashimoto’s and now I not have. However I keep in mind a lot being within the thick of that and feeling that frustration and that helplessness of not with the ability to get solutions, not figuring out what was flawed and deeply figuring out one thing was flawed. And fairly the journey has been since then.
And in addition 10 years in the past, I had simply been to my first enterprise and well being conferences and located different individuals on the earth who have been on related paths as I used to be. Additionally round that point, I kind of picked people who I knew on the Web and determined that they have been my individuals and my mates. And we fashioned what we name the Running a blog Household Mastermind. As a result of many enterprise occasions, they didn’t need you to convey your children. And I even keep in mind being at one and having a nursing child and that not being okay, although she was being very quiet. And that was kind of the inspiration for making a mastermind the place not simply children have been okay, however they have been really required and welcomed. And so we met in varied locations, rented an enormous home, and all of our households descended upon this one home for as much as every week. All the children bought to play. I feel collectively at one level there have been over 20 children. They usually constructed villages within the woods. They fashioned lifelong friendships. Now my oldest flies out of state a number of instances per yr to see his greatest good friend who he met via this mastermind.
However for me, that was actually the primary understanding of how we all know neighborhood is necessary. We all know how very important it’s, not only for bodily well being, however for psychological and emotional well being as nicely. And neighborhood doesn’t come as simply or naturally as maybe it has all through historical past. So I feel we have now to be very intentional about creating it. And so this was actually my first actual attempt at doing that was choosing individuals on the earth who appeared aligned, who appeared like nice individuals and simply claiming them and saying, let’s create one thing collectively. And I feel we are able to all do that in small methods, even with simply individuals in our instant proximity the place we reside, making a neighborhood, whether or not it’s simply potluck dinner events or assembly up on the park or some in-person proximal neighborhood could make such an enormous distinction. And I’m so grateful in hindsight that that fashioned. What’s much more superb is that now most of us reside in the identical space, so we get to see one another way more usually. We’ve constructed a literal type of neighborhood right here.
Additionally, 10 years in the past, I used to be between 80 and 100 kilos heavier than I’m now, relying on what time of the month it’s for me. And on the time, that was in my thoughts, what most likely took up nearly all of my psychological vitality was, and now figuring out it was considerably associated to the thyroid issues that have been occurring on the time, but in addition actually associated to my interior psychological and emotional state and the way that was my physique very a lot conserving me secure or what felt like secure on the time. And that grew to become probably the most profound journeys of my life was unpacking that and making peace with myself from the within out. It was an extended journey and one which I’m very a lot nonetheless on, but it surely has very a lot expressed and proven in my bodily physique as I’ve resolved among the issues that have been occurring internally.
So lots of you, should you adopted for some time, have most likely shared that journey with me. And thru that course of, I bought to unravel not simply psychological and emotional trauma, but in addition tales I had about how if solely I have been a sure measurement, or if solely I regarded a sure approach, then I’d be completely satisfied. And realizing that the inverse was really the case and that I might be taught to domesticate not simply happiness, which is typically extra floor degree, however peace and pleasure and bliss, irrespective of the bodily state, irrespective of my exterior circumstances, after which see really how that modified my bodily physique in ways in which I might by no means have anticipated.
And sarcastically, that additionally means I, again then once I was virtually 100 kilos heavier, I used to be consuming so little, I used to be depriving myself continuously. And I now eat greater than double what I used to eat to proceed to get leaner. I used to be most likely lower than half as sturdy as I’m now again then. And that has been one other stunning journey is studying to domesticate bodily energy. And I’ve had so many podcast visitors that speak concerning the bodily aspect of that and the way muscle mass correlates to longevity very strongly. So that is very a lot a course of I hope to proceed and to get stronger in each decade of life.
And a really floor degree small win for me is that I can now, as of very not too long ago, do utterly unassisted chin-ups, a number of of them. I had a narrative in my head for a very long time that I couldn’t do these. And statistically, the typical lady can’t even do one pull-up or chin-up. In order that has been an enormous win. Looks as if a really small factor, but it surely’s a really massive win for me and one thing I’m having fun with.
Different small type of floor degree issues are used to sunburn very simply due to the irritation I had in my physique. And now I prioritize mild publicity really as one of many core foundational features of well being, not simply from morning daylight, which I’ve talked extensively about. And I can hyperlink to earlier episodes on that. Morning daylight, noon daylight, watching the sundown each time attainable. Being very conscious of my mild atmosphere in my dwelling. However I’d say daylight is certainly one of my greatest well being hacks. And I’ve mentioned it earlier than, however I’ll repeat right here, simply in case you haven’t heard these episodes, that after we see the dawn or the sundown, we’re getting pure publicity to the identical spectrum of crimson mild that we pay a lot cash to purchase crimson mild panels to get in our dwelling. And it’s obtainable without cost on daily basis at dawn and sundown. And I feel that probably the most profound issues we are able to do for our well being is to get our biology in alignment with circadian biology, with the sunshine atmosphere of our planet.
And so each time attainable, we are able to watch the dawn, watch the sundown, particularly with gratitude, after which get that brilliant noon daylight, even for just some minutes. For the entire necessary signaling, electrical, chemical, organic signaling that occurs thus far past simply vitamin D. That’s just one tiny little a part of it. I’ve observed profound modifications even in my lab outcomes from actually prioritizing that.
Additionally, 10 years in the past, I had not begun to delve into one thing I’ve now talked extensively about, which is the psychological and emotional aspect of well being. And I utterly ignored these items personally for a really very long time. And I attempted to systematize and actually spreadsheet all of the bodily features of well being. And whereas I do assume these issues are profoundly necessary, none of that labored to the diploma that it might have till I additionally addressed the interior aspect. And I do know you guys is perhaps uninterested in listening to me discuss this, but it surely was so impactful for me. I really feel like it could actually’t be ignored and it’s clearly going to look so totally different for all of us, however we even know from the science aspect now how nervous system well being pertains to so many features of bodily well being in actually, actually profound methods. And so I feel to the diploma that we are able to create security in our our bodies, in the environment, in our feelings, we see the advantages of that in our bodily well being in a deep approach.
And in addition wanting again via my images from 10 years in the past, I additionally remembered how deeply uncomfortable I felt and the way deeply I felt the battle of this sort of distinction within me of as I used to be delving into this analysis, attempting to determine what was flawed with me and desirous to share it as a result of I used to be discovering issues that have been useful, I felt such deep imposter syndrome and so uncomfortable as a result of I hadn’t but figured all of it out. And since my physique didn’t mirror but all of the issues that I used to be studying and the way a lot mentally, how arduous that was to be in well being environments and never really feel like I had all of the well being dialed in.
And slightly bit extra on the skilled and the Wellness Mama aspect. I really feel like I had much more of a concern mindset 10 years in the past. And a part of that was a mirrored image of the place I used to be on the time as I used to be studying issues that I wasn’t taught rising up or that aren’t on the time frequent within the well being world, I felt the necessity to write about them in sensational phrases. And so I wrote posts like how grains are killing you slowly or how plastic is poisoning the atmosphere. And whereas there are definitely, I imagine, parts of reality to that, I hope that my writing model and my mindset has shifted into nonetheless engaging in the identical outcomes, however via focusing and selecting the nice versus being afraid of the atmosphere. And I feel that is one thing I’d most wish to be a part of shifting within the subsequent 10 years of this podcast or the platform or wherever it goes. I feel we’re seeing this in a really giant approach proper now however shifting away from concern of right into a selecting of the nice and specializing in the constructive. I noticed this in myself when it got here to well being and even weight loss program, as a substitute of being afraid of meals and attempting to limit myself to drop a few pounds, I discovered to embrace and now ask myself the query usually, what would my physique love? And I usually get a lot better solutions from that than I ever did from a spreadsheet or the entire double-blind placebo-controlled research I ever learn.
Additionally 10 years in the past, I used to be simply starting to be taught concerning the world of genetics and actually focused supplementation. It’s now one thing I’ve spent tons of, if not hundreds of hours researching and experimenting with on myself. And I feel that is one other factor that we’d hopefully see much more of within the subsequent 10 years is an understanding of actually actually customized well being. We’re now beginning to get entry in a a lot inexpensive method to information that may give us perception right here. And I feel we’re going to hopefully see this proceed to develop and have higher entry to it all through time.
However again, I feel all of that for me, 10 years in the past, it was very centered on even in my writing and even in weblog posts on Wellness Mama was avoiding the unhealthy fairly than constructing sturdy habits centered on the constructive. And I now notice that for long-term well being and for sticking to these issues, coming from a spot of selecting, whether or not it’s selecting essentially the most nourishing meals for my physique fairly than worrying about energy, whether or not it’s selecting the daylight fairly than being afraid of no matter it might be, I feel that’s simply a way more empowering place to return from.
I can also admit 10 years in the past, I labored approach an excessive amount of. And a part of this was necessity. However a part of this was additionally, as I discovered all this info, it felt so necessary to share it that I’d usually put my children to mattress at night time, seven or eight o’clock at night time, after which work for hours, nicely into the early hours of the morning, not get sufficient sleep, which isn’t good for well being, in fact. And I sacrifice sleep a complete lot. I don’t remorse that as a result of I do really feel like that info was so necessary and it was such a beneficial a part of my journey. However I feel now I’d hopefully select to have extra steadiness in my method to that. And sleep is without doubt one of the issues I non-negotiably and very adamantly prioritize in as we speak’s world.
I additionally really feel like 10 years in the past, Wellness Mama and my writing actually mirrored solely the bodily aspect of well being and wellness. And I do know you guys who’ve been with me for some time have sensed the shift and heard it within the podcast, writing extra concerning the interior expertise, the psychological and emotional aspect as nicely. I do know some individuals aren’t as a lot a fan of that shift and I’ve gotten some feedback from individuals saying, you already know, persist with the bodily well being aspect of the science. However I simply really feel like these items, these puzzle items are so intricately related that I really hope we see a extra widespread understanding of the interconnectedness of the entire components of the human expertise exterior of simply bodily well being. I feel we’ll see higher outcomes when that occurs. And it doesn’t should be from a religious or mystical viewpoint, however simply an understanding that our nervous methods, our biology, every little thing is so intricately related that I really feel like that is the subsequent realm of holistic and practical well being and understanding is with the ability to combine all of these components. And I feel there are some unbelievable voices which are actually beginning to try this. We’re having entry in a approach that we by no means have earlier than, even within the language I hear from simply mothers these days and the way in a different way we’re parenting, how in a different way we’re talking to our youngsters, and hopefully how in a different way we’re talking to ourselves.
Sooner or later, within the subsequent 10 years, I hope that we see a rise in these items I’ve talked about, the personalization in neighborhood. That is one thing I feel we’ve misplaced to such a deep diploma in the previous few years with every little thing that occurred in society. And I feel it’s so very important. You’ve heard me say earlier than, I feel that is the precise commonality of the blue zones shouldn’t be what the precise quantity of ounces of wine that they do or don’t drink or the meals that they do or don’t eat. It’s the truth that they achieve this a lot in neighborhood they usually statistically have very sturdy relationships. I feel that is one thing we have now to be intentional about and truly create in as we speak’s world usually. And I feel that’s completely value prioritizing.
I additionally not too long ago was very influenced and deeply resonated with a podcast from Kelly Brogan on Reclamation Radio known as Selecting Motherhood, which traces up very deeply with my expertise proper now of being a single mother and realizing that I’ve this very restricted window with my kids and prioritizing that as a lot as I can proper now, not being enthusiastic about romantic partnerships or relationships at this level, however actually specializing in neighborhood at the start with my children after which with different individuals round us and supporting their communities as they undergo the teenage years. And so that’s, I’d say my prime precedence proper now. And that may shift how Wellness Mama works sooner or later for the subsequent 10 years. We’ll see, trigger I’ve precisely 10 years left of getting kids beneath 18.
However on the word of neighborhood, I haven’t talked about this very a lot publicly but. So this would be the first time I actually shared this, however I’ve been for the previous six months, together with my children and my area people engaged on opening an in-person place for neighborhood and wellness that will probably be known as Cocoon, which is slightly little bit of a hat tip to the previous few years as I went via some fairly intense emotional instances. I mentioned that I cocooned and I feel there’s an exquisite metaphor there as a result of a cocoon is definitely the chrysalis part of a moth, but it surely’s the place a moth or butterfly transitions into the butterfly type from the larval type, which seems very very like a worm. And the cool half right here is you possibly have seen these graphics going round that we predict that they simply go in there and turn into these stunning butterflies or moths. However actually, it’s a strategy of what most likely looks like loss of life, they usually utterly dissolve after which come again.
And so I needed to create an area, particularly after the loneliness of the previous few years for therefore many individuals, an in-person place for neighborhood and connection and transformation. And so that’s what Cocoon will probably be. And I’ll share extra about it quickly. However should you occur to be in North Florida at any level, please attain out to me on Instagram as a result of I’d like to have you ever drop by the neighborhood and say hello. Or should you reside right here, please completely attain out. And I’ll share extra particulars as that turns into obtainable. I’ll really, after this podcast, be ending up some ultimate touches on a salt cave that’s being constructed over there. There’s a sauna, chilly plunge, sound beds, biocharger, lymphatic, mind faucet, so many issues to actually assist and assist. After which we’re going to do all of them in neighborhood.
I even have a number of extra books that will probably be hopefully coming within the subsequent few years, however these will come as they naturally come. I’m not going to effort these or take time away from my children to jot down them, however I’ve a sense that they are going to naturally emerge within the subsequent few years.
After I assume again to these questions they like to ask individuals after they graduate from highschool or school or ask individuals later in life, what would you return and inform your youthful self? I really feel like I might write an encyclopedia of issues I want I might return and inform my youthful self. And hopefully these are some issues that my children may have a extra stable basis on they usually gained’t have to return and inform themselves. However I feel issues like mild publicity and the way important that’s for well being that may prime the record. That was what I used to be not as conscious of 10 years in the past, definitely. Though I did spend time exterior, there have been so some ways I might have optimized that.
Additionally issues like consuming sufficient. I didn’t notice till years later how a lot I used to be chronically undereating for such a very long time and the way demanding that was for my physique. So I’d remind myself to attempt to overnourish myself to eat as many vitamins as attainable to get sufficient protein to ship my physique security indicators that I used to be not actually residing via a famine, although that’s possible what my physique assumed for lots of years.
I’d remind myself to ruthlessly prioritize sleep, which I’m shamelessly very excessive upkeep about as of late. I completely love that I’m going to mattress very early most days, like 9:30. And that my sleep atmosphere is one thing I prioritize from a time perspective, from a price range perspective, and from simply an atmosphere perspective. I’ve the ChiliPad Docpro that retains my mattress cool. I’ve blackout curtains to maintain the sunshine right. I’ve a Jaspr air filter, which is my new factor that I completely love. It makes superb white noise and retains the air tremendous clear. I even now have an EMF cover on my mattress. However I really feel like something we are able to do to enhance our sleep high quality, since there’s no effort required as soon as we’re going to sleep, has such an amazing ROI. And 10 years in the past, I wasn’t even getting sufficient sleep, a lot much less good high quality sleep. I feel determining these few issues earlier would have made a profound distinction. But, I’m so grateful for the precise timing that labored out.
I’d additionally, in fact inform myself again then that as all of the metaphors say, the magic you’re in search of is within the cave that you’re avoiding. And provides myself among the instruments I now use for the interior work, for the psychological and emotional well being aspect, and for studying to slowly combine all of these components, which I feel, once more, is a lifelong journey. However I really feel like I’ve a minimum of begun at this level versus 10 years in the past.
I’d additionally inform myself, typically it’s subtractive, not additive. Perhaps you don’t want so as to add extra dietary supplements to the spreadsheet. Perhaps you don’t want so as to add extra biohacking practices to your each day life. Perhaps it’s letting go of the issues that you simply don’t want. Perhaps it’s letting go of the busyness and the stress and the entire issues that you simply’re doing to an excessive diploma. And possibly it’s going again to the simplicity of nature and sleep and neighborhood and folks. I’d say now that I notice the true 80-20, the true minimal efficient dose, for us as human animals is mild and sleep, coping with stress, constructing neighborhood. After which solely after these components are dialed in are the vitamin and the dietary supplements and the extra focused therapies are these efficient.
I’d additionally inform myself, me of 10 years in the past, cherished to make use of the phrase, you have been made to do arduous issues. I mentioned that even to my children fairly often. And I nonetheless imagine that. However as my shut good friend says, I feel it additionally requires a further assertion now. It’s not that you simply have been made to do arduous issues, but in addition that not every little thing needs to be arduous. That typically the reply is perhaps extra easy than you assume. And that definitely, easy however not simple, was the case for me.
And I’d additionally inform myself of 10 years in the past, one thing {that a} latest podcast visitor, I don’t know if it’s aired but by the point this one airs, however Dr. Courtney Hunt, who I like to recommend following on Instagram, should you don’t already, she says on a regular basis, she says, see your self nicely. And 10 years in the past, I used to be not doing that. I used to be so centered on the entire issues and that’s the place my psychological area lived. And I feel there may be large assist in seeing ourselves whereas not in a aspirational imaginative and prescient board type of approach, however within the experiential approach of seeing in our interior expertise what it could really feel wish to be nicely, particularly what it could really feel wish to be nicely, and studying to get snug with that feeling as our our bodies meet up with it.
I additionally needed to do a short recap of some episodes that I’ve particularly loved over these previous now over 800 episodes, over 10 years. And this was tremendous arduous to even slim down slightly bit as a result of there have been so many unbelievable visitors and I’ve gotten to satisfy so many superb individuals via this podcast. I really, I’d suggest the entire visitors that I’ve gotten to interview. They’ve all been unbelievable, however some that I feel particularly would resonate in the way in which well being is true now and that I’d suggest particularly, like I mentioned, I don’t know if it’s aired but, however my episodes with Dr. Courtney Hunt. I actually loved her perspective on issues. She has an exquisite approach of uniting science with expertise, with practicality. And I’ll hyperlink to these if they’re reside. And if not, they are going to be coming quickly. I’ll hyperlink to her Instagram as nicely.
I’ve additionally performed a pair episodes with Mollie Eastman of Sleep is a Talent. And as I discussed, sleep is such a excessive ROI factor. I feel she has some unbelievable ideas. She’s helped hundreds of individuals enhance their sleep dramatically. And even her personal story of recovering from actually extreme insomnia. Her episodes have been nice. Matt Maruca, there was an episode tons of of episodes in the past about your mild atmosphere. I’ve talked about mild fairly a bit and I actually suggest hs. I’ve additionally performed a number of episodes with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon. I like to recommend these episodes and her guide as nicely. She talks about one thing she calls muscle-centric medicines. So, she’s an MD, and she or he actually acknowledges the worth of lean muscle mass for all features of well being, particularly as we become old. And that is why that is such an enormous focus for me. However the brief model is the extra lean muscle we have now, the extra protected we’re from all-cause mortality, which implies loss of life from all causes. However even issues like falls, that are extra frequent as we become old, the extra muscle you will have, the extra you’re shielded from these. Having muscle mass retains our metabolism in a more healthy place. It reduces the danger of quite a lot of the massive killers and continual illnesses. And it’s one thing that statistically quite a lot of us as People aren’t doing phenomenal about. And so her episodes give some very sensible ideas which you can implement instantly from protein consumption to exercise habits and a lot extra.
Episode 642 with The Holistic Psychologist. I like following her as nicely, and I’ll hyperlink to her. However she actually delves into an evidence-backed method to the psychological and emotional aspect. And that is the work she does, and she or he has gotten highly regarded for good cause from all of the work she does right here, she additionally has an exceptional guide. And in that vein as nicely, episode 628 with Dr. Cassie Huckaby delves into the interior aspect as nicely. She has complete programs and an incredible mindset method to that concept of see your self nicely. And she or he actually was influencing me in reframing the way in which I used my language and considered and talked about even issues like signs and illnesses. And now I don’t even say I had Hashimoto’s. I wish to say that was a phrase they gave me that I not have. As a result of that was definitely not me. And I used to be not Hashimoto’s. It was one thing my physique was attempting to inform me. And I lastly very slowly discovered to pay attention. And my physique responded by resolving that factor that they known as Hashimoto’s.
I’ve performed a number of episodes with Jim Kwik, who’s a pricey private good friend, and I extremely suggest his episodes. His is extra on the psychological aspect and studying, which I feel is definitely additionally a key to well being, particularly as we age. However his story is unbelievable, going from studying disabilities as a baby to serving to individuals and serving to even actors and actresses, serving to individuals around the globe with reminiscence and studying and velocity studying. He’s such an inspiring story, and I very a lot love his method. My children and I’ve performed a few of his programs really as a part of faculty on reminiscence and velocity studying, and I like his work.
Episode 590 with Dr. Andy Galpin was a enjoyable one. He additionally talks about quite a lot of the bodily well being aspect and every little thing from hydration to constructing muscle and what the proof says. And in our episode, we speak very particularly about for ladies. So some nice takeaways in that one. I like to additionally speak concerning the training aspect. My apologies to anyone who’s ready for me to launch the curriculum on that. I’m nonetheless engaged on that. It’s simply been a wild couple of years for me. However episode 516 with Matt Beaudreau was unbelievable. He has some nice instruments that you should utilize earlier than I launch my curriculum and even after. His instruments are phenomenal. He has nice content material he releases on a regular basis associated to that. And if you would like a extra customized, in-depth have a look at that, there’s additionally an episode with Jesse Elder, who’s one other shut good friend of mine who has by no means stepped foot in a faculty in his whole life. He was not historically schooled. And he has had a number of profitable companies and has such a singular approach of navigating life. So I like to recommend each of these as nicely.
After which moreover, the episode 360 with Byron Katie. Her work was instrumental for me to start with of studying to begin to handle the interior aspect, the emotional work, the psychological aspect.
